Involvement of the immune system in the tissue cross-talk between mammary parenchyma (blue) and mammary fat pad (yellow) in Holstein heifer calves (n = 6/treatment) fed pre-weaning (week 1 to 8 of life) an enhanced (EH) (1.08 kg of powder/head/day, 28.9% crude protein, 26.2% fat, DM basis) or restricted (R; represents the industry standard or control) milk replacer (0.44 kg of powder/head/day, 20.9% crude protein, 19.8% fat, DM basis). The affected functions in the fat pad are highlighted at the bottom
